stupid stanford, I was hoping they'd surprise everyone and go another round or two.

 

[Scott_J]

So, how's everyone looking after day 1? I'm 11-5, which isn't great but none of the 5 that I lost today were picked to get past the 2nd round so all of my potential Sweet 16 teams are still alive.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Well, it looks like Duke was seeded far too high, a #6 seed goes down to #11 seed VCU for the biggest upset so far in the madness of 2007.

I went 12-4 today.

 

[Adam_S]

I went 9 and seven, lost four sweet sixteen picks and one elite eight pick. Yeah I didn't do so hot.

 

[Tim Glover]

Went 13-3 today. Really thought Duke would win a few...Had Tx. Tech over BC & ODominion over Butler. Still a good day.

Worried, VERY worried about A&M playing Louisville Saturday in a virtual home game for the Cards. Life's not fair though.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Same here, but all of those 4 losses were teams I had out in Round 2, so I'll take where I'm at for now.

 

[Chris]

Here I'm 10-6. I have one bracket where I missed only 1.. and I picked VCU over Duke. So, this morning I had tons of email about 'how did you know". eh, I filled out six brackets this year and played them six different ways.. I figured one of them had to be close.. no science in that.

 

[Brandon_T]

13-3 but I took a hit with Texas Tech, had them winning a couple of games, same with Gonzaga, they are usually good for the early upset.

 

[Marty M]

I went 12-4 for the first day. Not sure if I will do as well today. I have a lot of lower seeds picked to win today, including my University of Illnios.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

Went 13-3 yesterday, and did not lose any of my Sweet 16. I'm sure the law of averages will catch up with me today.


I picked VCU over Duke in both pools I'm -- this one and one at work that included a $5 "donation". I think that was a popular upset pick, since about 25% (40-ish) picked it in that bigger work pool.

 

[Alex-C]

11-5 here on my main bracket. But all my misses I had losing in the next round, so I could still be in good shape come Monday.

Also, I had VCU over Duke.
Almost had BYU...they had 2-3 good oppurtunities to win in the waning moments of that game.

My upset specials for Friday are: Winthrop, Georgia Tech and Arkansas.

 

[Scott_J]

My upset special is the game starting right now - Albany over Virginia. Mark it.

Of course I'm a little biased because I'm an Albany alum but I think they have a real shot. That's one of just 3 upsets I have for today (along with Creighton and Villanova, if that you count a 9 over an 8 as an upset).

 

[Scott_J]

On second thought, you may want to unmark that. Eight minutes in, UA's down 19-4. :frowning:

 

[Patrick Sun]

Well, there goes one of my brackets, UNLV kills me.

 

[Marty M]

I got Wisconsin going to the Regional Finals. It's not looking very good right now. I did have Winthrop over Notre Dame, but not winning any other game, though.

 

[Alex-C]

Winthrop wins, Ga Tech not...I'm 1 for 1 on upsets today. About to go 1-2 with my lame Long Beach State pick.

 

[Marty M]

Wisconsin helped my bracket, a lot. I went 7-1 this afternoon. The only game I missed was the Nevada over Creighton. There don't seem to be as many lower seeds winning this year. So far there have only been two double-digit seeds win. Ironically, it was two 11 seeds. I don't consider a 9 over an 8 an upset, since they are both so close.

 

[ThomasC]

Man, my alma mater Miami really gave Oregon a challenge but couldn't pull through.

 

[Marty M]

That game was a lot closer than I thought it would be, considering Miami just "squeaked" by to get into the tournament. Tuff luck for Miami.

 

[Elizabeth S]

I hate Nevada with a vengeance, but I have them winning their first 2 games. My Rainbows had literally won a game against them this season, our 2 points went up on the board, then the Nevada coach threw a tantrum. The refs huddled and TOOK AWAY the points from my 'Bows. (They did not even have the decency to look at a replay -- the Coach just intimidated them.) Everyone knows Nevada actually lost that game.
